Video Workshop: Morning Hibiscus with Mark Menendez

There's a secret to creating color this intense... ...And Mark will share it with you in this workshop video! In this video, Mark will lead you through creating lush leaves, stunning raindrops, and of course, those flowers! You’ll learn how to use red background paper to intensify color, the importance of applying tones in order, feathering edges, and blending and glazing to create these bright pink beauties. You’ll learn how to use different greens to achieve depth and fullness, with just a touch of white for highlights. Plus, you’ll also learn Mark’s formula for creating water drops on both flowers and leaves. All with only 16 colored pencils! (The secret? Incredibly, red paper is one of the keys to creating the intense color of these tropical flowers, lush leaves, and glistening raindrops.)
